Summary
This is a "Shortcut" episode. It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed.
Nicole Morris joins us again on Australian True Crime to talk about her latest book devoted to missing persons.
The book is simply called Missing, but there's nothing simple or easy about the stories she tells inside.
Nicole is the director and founder of the Australian Missing Persons Register, which she created in 2005. Prior to that, there was no national database of missing people and no hub for families who are missing someone to share information, resources and support for each other.
Missing, and Nicole's previous book, Vanished, have both been written in close collaboration with these families. The portraits she paints of the disappeared are intimate, in depth and relatable.
